FDA is focusing attention on sanitation procedures in imported foods.

I am happy to hear this- I wish we didn't import food; or at least the large amount we are importing now. I went to my farmer's market last fall for my favorite garlic and all they had was bags of garlic cloves from China. I am still upset by that, I wanted to stock up on the great garlic I always bought there.

I, too, refuse Chinese garlic and get ***LIVID*** when that is all they have in stock at my Supermarket.

Remind me, again... what is it that they grow in Gilroy?

I wish that all the farmers markets would outlaw foods imported from China.... actually, ANY food not grown locally.

If I want imported produce, I can go to any grocery store, but when I go to a farmers market, I want LOCALLY GROWN PRODUCE.

A few years ago I read some articles describing sellers purchasing huge bulk shipments of various veggies from China, and then passing them off as locally grown ORGANICS, lol, at farmers markets throughout America and they made a lot of money with their fraudulent scheme.

But it is very irritating that there is NO place to safely & honestly purchase AMERICAN grown food in AMERICA.
